I don't know much about systemd, but you'll probably need dovecot configuration listen = 127.0.0.1 Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Systemd and listen restriction to localhost not enforced
by Sven Strickroth 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hi, in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf I have restricted IMAP to localhost only: service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 127.0.0.1 #port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { #port = 993 #ssl = yes } } However, /lib/systemd/system/dovecot.socket make it listen on 0.0.0.0:143 and [::]:143 causing the service being available to the public which it should not. - IMHO this is a security issue. PS: When starting dovecot I got: Jul 6 22:52:14 srv1 dovecot[19921]: Error: systemd listens on port 143, but it's not configured in Dovecot. Closing. Jul 6 22:52:14 srv1 dovecot: master: Error: systemd listens on port 143, but it's not configured in Dovecot. Closing. -- Best regards, Sven Strickroth PGP key id F5A9D4C4 @ any key-server

vsz_limit of service doveadm "ignored"?
by Philipp 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hello, dovecot 2.2.18 on CentOS6.5 Jul 08 11:53:44 dsync-server(system): Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 32554 returned error 83 (Out of memory (service doveadm { vsz_limit=521 MB }, you may need to increase it) - set CORE_OUTOFMEM=1 environment to get core dump) I tried increasing to 1 G, 1024 M or even disabling via value of zero -- to no change. Every other service has the famous 18446744073709551615 B limit. default_vsz_limit = 2 G The second node with the same setup/config is happily accepting a higher value, since both come from the same provisioning I cannot see (or expect) differences around ulimit and thelike. The configuration comes from a single file, so no include drama or such. Any pointers why the setting is being ignored?

ESEARCH multiple folders
by Peter Chiochetti 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

FTS-Solr is blazingly fast; yet searching e.g. an archive with subfolders still is slow; I learned, that this is a feature/bug of the imap protocol. So I'd like to ask: Does or will dovecot support the "IMAP4 Multimailbox SEARCH Extension" specified in RFC 7377? -- Kind regards Peter

Scalability with high density servers and proxies, TCP port limits
by Christian Balzer 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hello, first post in 3 years, kinda shows how painless Dovecot is. ^o^ Also this isn't really a dovecot issue, alas it's involved and since there are some large scale implementations of it I hope somebody here has some insights I might have missed. Currently we're running this setup: 1. LVS (DR mode) in a HA configuration (2 node cluster) 2. Dovecot in proxy mode on a 2 node cluster 3. Dovecot on actual mailbox servers (dual node DRBD clusters) There are about 500k users, but most of them use POP3, so there are usually less than 6k IMAP sesions at any given time. This is about to change, I'm looking at potentially millions of users who will have all semi-permanent IMAP sessions. We already have a pure SSD based mailbox cluster and based on the experiences with that another one is on order that will be able to easily handle about 500k users with regards to IOPS and other needs. However there's the issue of having all these concurrent IMAP sessions. Namely, running out of ephemeral ports. Lets assume 2 million users and 50k ports per IP and revisit the setup above. 1. LVS should have no problem, from experience and tests I expect a well tuned and spec'ed machine to handle millions of connections. This is in DR mode, in NAT mode I assume things would run into a wall a lot quicker. But even if LVS should run out of steam, there's a wide selection of high capacity load balancers available. 2. Here is where the fun starts. Each IMAP session that gets proxied to the real mailbox server needs a port for the outgoing connection. So to support 2 million sessions we need 40 IP addresses here. Ouch. And from a brief test having multiple IP addresses per server won't help either (Dovecot unsurprisingly picks the main IP when establishing a proxy session to the real mailbox), at least not with just one default GW. 3. All of this gets repeated on the actual mailbox servers, by either having a lot of low density servers or (preferably) high density servers with multiple IP addresses. Am I on track so far or missing something obvious? How many concurrent connections do you (hello Timo) think dovecot in proxy mode can handle? High performance mode of course in this case. I'm interested in internal limitations, assume that CPU and RAM are amply supplied. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

HELP: wrinting dovecot-sql.conf to authenticate to an existing database
by Filippo Zeus 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

hi all, can anyone help me with dovecot-sql.conf please ? I'm not a mysql expert and I'am trying to authenticate dovecot2 to an existing database. I have a database "egroupware" with table "egw_accounts". The field "account_lid" is the full email address and "account_pwd" is the password in Blowfish format. Here is my dovecot-sql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=egroupware user=egroupware password=********* default_pass_scheme = BLF-CRYPT password_query = SELECT account_pwd AS password FROM egw_accounts WHERE account_lid = '%u' when I try to login to POP or IMAP I got this error in mail.log/mail.info Error: sql(hidden@mydomain.com,::1): Invalid password in passdb: crypt() failed: Invalid argument auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL#0111#011user=hidden(a)mydomain.com dovecot: pop3-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: I think I'm having trouble with the password value that is stored in the account_pwd as: {crypt}$2a$12$XTAolzXgwMC211MuZELQUedPv9tjZNs7Osh97PnZ50pAKuk3WPGmS Reading at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes I suppose that the heading "{crypt}$2a$" instead of a simple "$2a$" (witch identifies a Blowfish password) is my problem.

Autocreate folders with specific permissions
by Fabio S. Schmidt 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi, I have Dovecot 2.1 deployed running about 65k mailboxes. We need to create a specific folder for all users with specific permissions. I mean, the user could not delete or rename the folder. To create the folder automatically I have used the autocreate, but is there any way to set specific permissions on those folders? My best regards.

Problem with IMAP-Proxy and M$ Exchange-Server
by Luca Bertoncello 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi List! I **HATE** Exchange-Server. I think it's not able to manage E-Mails, but we have to use it at work... Well, we need to read the E-Mails from outside, so I configured Dovecot with IMAPC to connect to the Exchange-Server. It works, but I have a problem... If I receive an E-Mail, and I read it from my phone (for example), I see in Outlook that the E-Mail as been read. If I move the E-Mail in another folder from my phone, I see in Outlook the E-Mail in the new folder **AND** in the INBOX. If I check my E-Mail from another phone (or Mail-Client), I see the E-Mail just in the new folder, so I think, the Exchange-Server did move it. But Outlook does not get this information... Any idea how can I solve my problem? Thanks Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

Large jumps in dovecot-uidlist
by Mark 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Since upgrading to Debian Wheezy I have been observing large jumps in the value stored in dovecot-uidlist. The effect of these jumps is to confuse some mail clients (Thunderbird, Opera Mail) causing them not to display messages from a (random?) point in time onwards in the affected folder. I have been unable to determine the root cause of these jumps. What I do know: 1. I never observed the problem while running Debian Squeeze. 2. The only way I have found to fix the issue is to remove all the dovecot* files from the affected folder and restart dovecot. I have tried removing various subsets of the dovecot* files but haven't yet found a subset that works. 3. I first tried upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy within a few weeks of the Wheezy release. At that point the problem occurred so frequently that I couldn't sync my mail client with my mail box. Multiple folders exhibited this problem and while I was fixing them the problem appeared in other folders. I was unable to reach a point where the system was stable so I reverted back to Squeeze. 4. Some time later (I think a year but I am not sure) I tried the upgrade to Wheezy again. This time the system was stable. After a few days I noticed that the problem was still occurring but less frequently. Since then I have been fixing the problem as I notice it and experimenting with various settings (mainly locking related) without success. I now have a cron job that looks for problematic folders and fixes them when found. 5. I have updated Dovecot packages to those from Jessie via wheezy-backports and the problem still occurs. 6. Dovecot is installed along with postfix, amavisd-new, clamav-daemon, procmail and fetchmail. 7. The mail server is running on a eSATA SheevaPlug that boots of an external USB drive. All user home dirs (and associated mailboxes) are located on a LUKS/ext3 encrypted partition. 8. The output of dovecot -n may be found at the end of this mail. 9. Uid values for the three most recent instances of this problem are: 3801596527, 3371927249, 3443181615 10. Some folders seem more susceptible to this problem but I have not been able to identify any common factors/triggers. 11. The problem occurs - on average - once a day. I am happy to provide any further information, configure any debug logging and/or test suggested configuration settings that may help track down the root cause of this problem. Any help gratefully appreciated.

Are the Dovecot Enterprise Edition Ubuntu 14.04 packages stable?
by deoren 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

I recently begun to migrate mail services to a new box so I could retrofit an existing box. I took this opportunity to check back on the official Dovecot Enterprise Edition (EE) pages to see if support has been added for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I never could find the information on the dovecot.fi website, but taking my existing credentials for Dovecot EE repo access and looking at the root path I see that 14.04 packages are available from the APT repo. Are those stable or experimental? I have an Ubuntu 12.04 box I've kept around just for Dovecot EE that I'd like to move to 14.04 if the packages are stable. p.s. Thank you for continuing to provide access for existing users of the repo, but what would new users need to do to obtain access? Thanks for your time.

Questions about hardlinks, alternate storage and compression
by Gionatan Danti 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hi all, I have some questions about hardlinks, alternate storage and compression. I already scanned the list for related information and I have an idea of how things works, but I would like to have a definite answer. System spec: - CentOS 6.6 x64 - dovecot-2.0.9-8.el6_6.4.x86_64 RPM package/version - sdbox mail store 1) About hardlinks: when sending the same message to two different recipients, I see that the two u.x files are created as two different files. Diffing them, I see that the only difference is a single char (see [1] for an example). My questions are: a) it is possible to tell dovecot to create a single file + a single hardlink (linkref=2)? As other IMAP servers support that features (eg: Cyrus, CommunigatePro, etc) I am wondering if I missed something in configuring dovecot... b) If it is not possible, can I run a script that compare the various files and substitute equal ones (minus the changing line) with hardlinks, or it will confuse dovecot? As a side note, why the changing line ever exists? 2) About alternate storage and compression: actually, I use a single mail_location without compression. I would like to have an alternate storage and to enable compression on it only, leaving the main location without compression. I if understand it correctly, it _should_ be done using a command similar to "doveadm -Dv -o "plugin/zlib_save=gz" altmove -uu testuser sentbefore 8d". I'm right thinking that it should work? I will really end with a primary uncompressed mail store and an alternate, zlib-compressed one? Thank you all and sorry if I did some naive questions.

(not sure if this is even related but it might) The problem I see is that lmtp(user1) tries to access the home directory /home/user2 and I cannot figure out the reason why. This only happens when sending mails to multiple recipients. I see the that lmtp complains that it doesn't have execute permissions. But I don't want to place execute permissions for others on the entire /home/* dir structure. Also, 700 are the default creation permissions. So new users would have to be chmod'ed manually. (unless there is a setting in dovecot) I used "mailx" to send a test email to multiple recipients `echo "test message" | mailx -s "subject" -r vader at dhcp90.##### han.solo at dhcp90.##### vader at dhcp90.##### tester at dhcp90.#####` The only one who actually receives the message is han.solo at dhcp90.##### and The same happens with aliases in /etc/aliases. `echo "group test" | mailx -s "subject" -r vader at dhcp90.##### grouplist at dhcp90.#####` "grouplist" is defined in /etc/aliases and contains the same users as in the log Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

autocreating folders with special chars stored in mysql-userdb
by Hajo Locke 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hello, i use dovecot 2.2.18 and do some tests with an utf8 mysqlbackend. I use MySQL to authenticate Users and for retrieving some individual settings like autocreating folders etc. by userdb-settings in user-query. Yet no problems with standard language. Now i try to provide userdb-settings in exotic languages. My MySQL table uses utf8 charset. I store some data in my userdb-column. Here an polish example: "namespace/inbox/mailbox=example namespace/inbox/mailbox/example/name=postępować namespace/inbox/mailbox/example/auto=subscribe" Result is a new folder in dovecot, but in client every special char ę and ć is replaced with a "?" I seems that at some point a conversion to latin1 is performed which ruins the utf8 chars. Creating a folder postępować by imap-client is no problem. Hmm, what should i do now? I dont know how to influence dovecot to process retrieved utf8 data furthermore as utf8. Which charset is using dovecot when connecting to mysqldb and how to take influence? Thanks, Hajo

Dovecot auth username mapping
by Laz C. Peterson 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

I have an interesting case here … Virtual mailboxes, domain/username/aliases stored in MySQL, authentication done using PAM. PAM authenticates through Kerberos, which are internal realms and not the email domains — for example, my username would be laz(a)PARAVIS.LOCAL <mailto:laz@PARAVIS.LOCAL> and my email address would be laz(a)paravis.net <mailto:laz@paravis.net>. All of this works just fine. But what I want to do is allow the users to log in using their email address and not their full Kerberos name. It is becoming laborious to help the users understand the difference between their username(a)LOCAL.REALM and username(a)email.address <mailto:username@email.address> and why we have to have two separate identities that mean the same thing. I have the SQL statements to convert either the Kerberos login or the email address to the actual Kerberos login (so they may use either). But I cannot seem to figure out how to get Dovecot to acknowledge this as the mapped username. I’m sure there has to be a way. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! ~ Laz Peterson Paravis, LLC

Outlook 2013 not fetching new mail/synchronization issues
by Dragos Pacher 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi all, Dovecot 2.2.10 CentOS 6 64 bit. We are having terrible synchronization issues with Outlook 2013 (all updates) on Windows 7 SP1 and 8.1 hosts (all updates). Scenario: 1. Emails were sent since user closed Outlook 2. Next day: start computer, open outlook 3. No new email (even though email were sent overnight) 4. half a day later Outlook fetches emails like nothing happened Second issue: folders created or email send in Outlook 2013 does not synchronize on IMAP, they remain only local .. But I am mostly interested into finding a fix for the first synchronization issue described in scenario. Second is also important but I have a feeling its connected to the first.

dovecot-lmtp

Hi, I'm trying to use dovecot-lmtp so that I can filter messages with sieve, however it doesn't appear to be working. I followed the instructions on wiki2.dovecot.org. I'm running Debian Wheezy. I've got runit configured to execute postfix and dovecot, which may be the source of the problem (runit executes /usr/sbin/dovecot -F). I've got mail_debug turned on and there is nothing in the mail log about lmtp. Any help would be appreciated. -- Steven Hopps || shopps(a)pridetechdesign.com 424-888-0443 || http://www.pridetechdesign.com = Ask about my Security Tune-Up & 24/7 Server Monitoring! =

Dovecot deleting files and directories
by Jan Ekholm 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hi, I’m a new Dovecot user and using version 2.2.18 on an OpenSuse system. In general it all works quite nicely and clients can connect to Dovecot and manage mails normally. The layout used is maildir. The users are all virtual, i.e. they do not exist on the Linux system. They all log in without any authentication due to a very specialized and internal setup. However, sometimes Dovecot simply deletes mails from the maildir structure. It also seems to delete entire users too. This is not a simple case of clients deleting mails, but the entire folder for the user seems to sometimes get nuked. I’ve also seen that only the mails and Dovecot’s admin files (indexes etc) are deleted. The log file is not really too informative, mostly lines of this form: Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Info: Disconnected: IMAP session state is inconsistent, please relogin. in=781 out=2630 Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(operators-east(a)east.domain.x): Debug: Namespace : /opt/mail/operators-east doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(operators-east(a)east.domain.x): Debug: Namespace : /opt/mail/operators-east doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(operators-east(a)east.domain.x): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /opt/mail/operators-east: mode=0700 gid=default Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Debug: Namespace : /opt/mail/firstname.lastname doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Debug: Namespace : /opt/mail/firstname.lastname doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /opt/mail/firstname.lastname: mode=0700 gid=default Jul 01 14:01:03 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<firstname.lastname(a)domain.x>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=9326, secured, session=<2+YiPc4ZGwB/AAAB> Jul 01 14:01:03 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Debug: Effective uid=1001, gid=100, home=/opt/mail/firstname.lastname Jul 01 14:01:03 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Debug: maildir++: root=/opt/mail/firstname.lastname, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/opt/mail/firstname.lastname, alt= Jul 01 14:01:07 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<operators-east(a)east.domain.x>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=9333, secured, session=<11NpPc4ZHAB/AAAB> Jul 01 14:01:07 imap(operators-east(a)east.domain.x): Debug: Effective uid=1001, gid=100, home=/opt/mail/operators-east Jul 01 14:01:07 imap(operators-east(a)east.domain.x): Debug: maildir++: root=/opt/mail/operators-east, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/opt/mail/operators-east, alt= I’ve changed the name and domain. Not sure if the namespace complaints have anything to do with the directories on disk, but normally they are there when the logging comes. Below is the used config file. I can’t see anything that would trigger deletions and there is no logging or similar about it. To me it’s quite serious that an IMAP server randomly deletes mails and its own files. ########################################################################################### # support only IMAP, no pop3 protocols = imap # listen only on IPv4 (the default is: "* ::") listen = * # where logging gets sent log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log # disable SSL ssl = no disable_plaintext_auth = no # we're using maildir without any extra folders in the user's home directory (set in userdb) mail_location = maildir:~ # user ids default_login_user = dovenull default_internal_user = dovecot # auth config auth_verbose = yes auth_mechanisms = plain # password scheme. Uses an external Python application to verify the password. It gets # sent the username and password and can perform authentication.

I’ve seen that mail_location and mail_home should not be the same, but using mail_location = maildir:~/mail gives the exact same behavior. Best regards, Jan Ekholm

I have a configuration that works something like this on my front end proxy: pass_attrs = mail=user,\ =nopassword=y,\ =proxy=y,\ =host=mail.%d The above works perfectly well even though it seems a bit hack. I want to fetch the host field from LDAP and default it to "mail.%d" if the attribute isn't populated for the user. I have tried the following : pass_attrs = mail=user,\ =nopassword=y,\ =proxy=y,\ =host=%{ldap:mailHost:mail.%d} however the interpolation doesn't occur on the default. Just wondering if there is a way to achieve this? thanks

Getting regularly mailbox desyncs while syncing with imapc
by Michael 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Hello list! I sync approximately ~1000 Mailboxes actually without any problems, except my very own mailbox - Dovecot 2.2.18 (mdbox format) running here. The server from where I sync my mails from runs Dovecot 1.2.4 (with mbox format). The last log line that I receive is: dsync(ms(a)ddnetservice.de): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again. dovecot error log: 2015-06-30 13:09:50 imap(ms(a)ddnetservice.de): Error: Corrupted transaction log file /var/vmail/ddnetservice.de/ms/mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log seq 2: indexid changed 1435401731 -> 1435662589 (sync_offset=0) This is the command for running my syncs: doveadm -o imapc_user=<remote_user> -o imapc_password=<remote_pw> -o imapc_host=<remote_host> -o imapc_features="rfc822.size fetch-headers" -o mail_prefetch_count=20 -v -D sync -R -u<local_user> imapc: &> $LOGS/$BOX.log A re-run of this command for my mailbox doesn't fix the problem. The "Inbox" remains empty. Only a "doveadm force-resync -ums(a)ddnetservice.de" fixes this problem with the exception that the Inbox still remains empty. So after force-resyncing I need to run the sync again and my Inbox remains consistent until the next imapc sync run. Actually the desync message is self-explanatory, but I wonder why this behaviour only occurs for my own Inbox (only Inbox, other directories aren't affected) and not anywhere else. Is there any possiblity to debug this? Could also the amount of new incoming mails cause this or do I have maybe a bugged mail in my original mailbox that is causing my trouble? Any hint is appreciated. Thanks, Michael

Same-server mail transfer
by Andrew Obertas 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Hello, What would be the best way to perform a same-server Maildir transfer, while retaining the IMAP structure already in place, between users with the same GID but different UIDs? I've tried doveadm import but I presume it is encountering a permissions error due to the different UIDs. Worst case scenario, I could move everything over manually and then update the UIDs. I feel like there should be a more elegant solution though that I'm not immediately grasping however. -- Best regards, Andrew Obertas Junior Systems Administrator Infinet Communications Group

hi all, first things first my version and config - # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.6 (Final) auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } - i have installed dovecot+postfix email server and a LDAP server, if i create users on the LDAP server can dovecot pick up the usernames and create a mailbox for the individual users as atm if i want to create an email address for users i add the user to the email server and make a directory for the users mailbox and have to chmod and chown also just another question, can i set up mail groups on dovecot? cheers rob -- Regards, Robert K Wild.

cram-md5 cache problem

hi: I was using scientific linux 6 and had cache problem. I upgrade to scientific linux 7 but the problem is the same, so I try to find out why. dovecot version: 2.2.10. postfix + postfixadmin environment. use dovecot-lda to deliver local mail. if I enable cache with "auth_cache_size = 102400" and enable cram-md5 with "auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5".

Out of bounds read error in wildcard_match.c
by Hanno Böck 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

Hi, I discovered an out of bounds read error in the file wildcard_match.c. Here's the code: /* find the end of each string */ while (*(++mask)); mask--; while (*(++data)); data--; The problem with this: It will search for the end of the strings (zero-terminated), but it'll only start at position 1, not at position 0 (because the ++ in front of the variable will first increment and then return the value). However these strings can be empty. This can be fixed by changing ++mask to mask++ (and same for data), then there must be a -=2 instead of -- afterwards. See attached patch. I found this by compiling dovecot with address sanitizer and running the test suite. cu, -- Hanno Böck http://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: hanno(a)hboeck.de GPG: BBB51E42

"Sensible" location for Sieve scripts
by Andrew Beverley 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

I'm configuring some Sieve scripts for virtual users. I'd like to keep the Sieve scripts somewhere "sensible". Currently, all the mail goes into /var/mail/vhosts/<domain>/<mailbox> So I thought a good place for the sieve script might be in there as well, for example: /var/mail/vhosts/example.com/username/sieve Is there any reason *not* to store the sieve scripts in the same location as the mail? Thanks, Andy

replication notification with chroot users

I'm getting the following error when using dovecot replication: dovecot: imap(foo(a)bar.com): Error: open(/var/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo) failed: No such file or directory I guess this has something to do with the fact that every user is chrooted in it's own homedir.

Namespace Translation / IMAP Proxying
by Daniel van Ham Colchete 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Hello everyone! About three years ago we migrated from Courier do Dovecot using the procedure at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier. So we have a namespace prefix os "INBOX.". We are trying to implement the SOGo collaboration with Exchange ActiveSync integration with Android Lollipop devices. So, in this exact configuration (namespace prefix + ActiveSync + Android Lollipop) things dont work really well [1]. I'm trying to get an IMAP Proxy of any kind in front of my Dovecot system to translate my namespaces when SOGo connects to it. So instead of presenting INBOX and INBOX.Sent it should show INBOX and Sent. I tried to do it with imapc but couldn't find any configuration that would allow it. I also looked at Perdition IMAP Proxy and NGINX but couldn't find it there also. Does anyone knows a way to do it? Best, Daniel Colchete [1] https://lists.inverse.ca/sogo/arc/users/2015-06/msg00301.html

hi I get with default (not declared) replication_dsync_parameters above errors, and for users that I'm trying to disable replication.

It's for a user that I don't want replication. What am I missing here? many thanks

Re: Virtual Mailboxes

My next bonehead maneuver - was more of the first! location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual was adapted from my definition for my shared namespace. Which was intended to share OTHER users - which is why the '%%' prefixes are used. Changing to: location = virtual:/var/mail/%d/%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual Now I can actually view something! But I still have a challenge - the mailboxes don't allow subscriptions via IMAP. If I manually edit the "subscriptions" file I can force it and I can now browse & view - but I can't make changes via IMAP clients.

EXT4/LVM recommendations for 3TB of mdbox ?
by Nicolas C. 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hello, Do you have recommendations on EXT4 and LVM options for a 3TB file-system for mdbox? We currently use the mbox format on a XFS with poor performances since the update in v2.1 (Debian). We will switch to EXT4 to have the possibility of shrinking the file-system if needed (which is not possible with XFS), we currently have LVM partitions but with mdbox we will use LVM snapshots to backup the server in a consistent state. So, - any particular options to use with mkfs.ext4 for the creation of the FS ? - do you recommend a «thin» logical volume ? Our storage (IBM Storwize v7000) already have thin provisioning capabilities. The server will be a VMware virtual machine running Debian with RDM LUNs of 500GB. Data blocks will be automatically spread across several RAID disk (SSD, SAS, SATA) by the v7000. The «mdbox_rotate_size» will be configured around 10MB. Thanks, Nicolas C.

is it safe to have two backed used for the same user?
by lejeczek 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

hi everybody I wonder if it is safe (and wise) to have two passw-user databases for the same one user. I'm thinking, mail to me via pam mail to me(a)this.domain via ldap whole Maildir would be essentially the same one storage target, I see permissions have to be mangled, available to write for both vmail and actual uid. what do you think? Is it how it's done? regards

Quota question
by Ralf Hildebrandt 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration says: concat('*:bytes=', quota_limit_bytes) AS quota_rule and concat('*:bytes=', quota_limit_bytes) AS userdb_quota_rule but a generic quota_rule on the same page says: plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M } Are "bytes=" and "storage=" equivalent? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields also shows "storage=": user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid, \ '*:storage=100M' as quota_rule, mail_plugins, \ 'gz' as `plugin/zlib_save` FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein

Assert test not compatible with s390(x) and ppc64 architectures
by Michal Hlavinka 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi, we have found that assert test fails on some architectures: test-net.c:59: Assert failed: net_addr2ip("127.0.0.1", &ip) == 0 && ip.family == AF_INET && ip.u.ip4.s_addr == (127 | (1 << 24)) It seems as bug in test suit as test is expecting IPv4 address in LE format (0x0100007f), but it gets address in BE format(0x7f000001). Patch in attachment should fix this issue. Regards Michal Hlavinka

passdb pam and args/format
by lejeczek 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

I wonder if queries to/via pam are formatable? What I'm thinking I'd like to try is to use pam with users(a)local.domain. And I guess I'd have to loose domain part somehow. many thanks

a temporary failure
by lejeczek 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

dear all I have a postfix relaying to dovecot's lda but "strangely" it does not work, I mean I imaging it's me doing something wrong, yet I cannot figure out what. postfix logs: to=<me(a)my.domain>,orig_to=<root@localhost>, relay=dovecot, delay=39296, delays=39294/2.2/0/0.27, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) and dovecot logs no error, despite having debug to yes in couple of places, it shows: auth: Debug: master in: USER 1 me(a)my.domain service=lda auth-worker(25343): Debug: passwd(me(a)my.domain): lookup auth-worker(25343): passwd(me(a)my.domain): unknown user auth: Debug: ldap(me(a)my.domain): user search: base=ou=People,dc=my,dc=domain scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=person)(uid=me)) fields= auth: Debug: ldap(me(a)my.domain): result: objectClass=top,top,top,top, ... here goes the whole lot of ldap atrribs, and at the end: unused. For passdb & userdb in the configs I only configure ldap backed, nothing else. Ldap works, I can query it without failling. I believe it's very simple set up but I must be wrong somewhere. pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n)) pass_attrs = uid=user=%n,userPassword=password user_attrs = =home=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n,=mail=maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(uid=%n)) Any suggestions very appreciated. thanks

Proxy to more Servers
by Luca Bertoncello 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi list! Finally I got the LDAP-Authentication work (it was a problem of the OU-Path... :( ). Now I can authenticate the user against the AD and forwarding the IMAP-Connection to the Exchange Server. Wow! My next problem: we have TWO ADs and TWO Exchange-Servers. The first AD has the users for the first Exchange, and the second AD for the second Exchange. I defined two files so: auth-ldap-OLDAD.conf.ext: passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-OLDAD.conf.ext } userdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-OLDAD.conf.ext default_fields = imapc_user=%u imapc_password=%w imapc_ssl=imaps imapc_host=sphinx.company.local imapc_port=993 driver=imap uid=imapproxy gid=imapproxy home=/home/imapproxy } auth-ldap-NEWAD.conf.ext: passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-NEWAD.conf.ext } userdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-NEWAD.conf.ext default_fields = imapc_user=%u imapc_password=%w imapc_ssl=imaps imapc_host=exchange01.ad.company.org imapc_port=993 driver=imap uid=imapproxy gid=imapproxy home=/home/imapproxy } Well, the authentication works as expected, but when a user of the second AD/Exchanges tries to log in, after a SUCCESSFULLY authentication can't speak with the new Exchange server... :( In the log of Dovecot I see: Jun 23 15:07:58 proxy01 dovecot: imap(chorris): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': Mailbox list driver imapc: missing imapc_host Jun 23 15:07:58 proxy01 dovecot: imap(chorris): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Could someone explain me, why the configuration for imapc_host in the second file are ignored? Thanks Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

allowing shell users to change passwords
by dave＠661.org 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Does anyone else here have a need to allow shell users to change their imap/pop3 passwords? I came up with a little thing that works similarly to regular passwd(1), dovepasswd, which can be found at https://github.com/DavidGriffith/dovepasswd. It does the job for me and I'd love for other people to take a look and give me some feedback. -- David Griffith dave(a)661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?

Problem with LDAP... again...

Hi list! I'm always trying to configure Dovecot to ask our LDAP-Server (AD) in order to authenticate the users. I really don'know what can I do wrong... I configured my Dovecot so: hosts = chimaera.company.local dn = CN=mailproxy,CN=Users,DC=company,DC=local dnpass = SECRET sasl_bind = no tls = no debug_level = -1 auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = dc=company,dc=local deref = never scope = subtree user_filter = (&(sAMAccountName=%n)(objectClass=user)) pass_attrs = userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(samAccountName=%n)(objectClass=user)) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT If I try to login in, with my login and password, I see with ngrep that Dovecot ask the AD for my data AND GET THEM, then I see: T 10.0.46.4:49204 -> 192.168.168.23:389 [AP] 0p...ck."DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=company,DC=local................4....samAccountName..bertoncello....objectClass..user0. # T 192.168.168.23:389 -> 10.0.46.4:49204 [AP] 0........e................000004DC: LdapErr: DSID-0C0906E8, comment: In order to perform this operation a successful bind must be completed on the connection., data 0, v1db1.

LDAP authentication

This is my configuration: hosts = my.server.local auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = CN=Person,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=company,DC=local scope = subtree user_attrs = \ =home=/home/imapproxy/%u, \ =mail=maildir:/home/imapproxy/%u pass_attrs = uid=%u, userPassword=%w pass_filter = (&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=%u)) auth_bind_userdn = company\%u If I try to login on the LDAP-Server using ldapsearch it works, but with Dovecot not...

To say that disabling the use of index files solved your problems is akin to saying amputating your foot solved your bunion problems. Ordinarily, indices ought to be a benefit -- it will help with I/O bottlenecks when mailboxes or number of users get huge. I can't tell from your list of problems whether they are the result of one or many causes, but fixing the index consistency problem would go a long way toward clearing up most of your problems. If INDEX=MEMORY is working for you and you don't see performance degradation, there's no harm in using it, but in my opinion, it may benefit you in the future to get to the bottom of the indexing problem rather than to lop it off altogether. > I am curious if setting INDEX=MEMORY "disables the index completely" as > per http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation: "If you really want to, you > can also disable the index files completely by appending > :INDEX=MEMORY." Or if there are index files in memory as one might > assume taking the directive literally, and if so, if these are > functionally equivalent to, say, Courier IMAP's caching model. The latter I believe. The important words in the wiki sentence is "index files", not "indexing". Dovecot is still indexing, exept that it builds it from scratch each and every time a worker process accesses a mailbox, so incurs a fixed overhead that cannot be used for the next session.

Dovecot as Proxy for __MORE__ Exchange-Servers
by Luca Bertoncello 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hi list! I'm trying to configure Dovecot 2.2.18 to act as proxy. Dovecot has to authentificate the users against an LDAP-Server (AD) and then act as IMAP-Proxy to an Exchange Server. Now the problem is, that we have TWO Exchange servers (and two ADs, too). How can I say to Dovecot that it has to search for the user in the first AD (and if found proxy to the first Exchange server) and if the user was not found, to search in the second AD (and if found proxy to the second Exchange server)? Thanks a lot Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

Quota SQL separate queries?
by Akos Vandra 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hello, We are trying to enforce per-domain quotas. Currently my quota-sql.conf looks like this: connect = host=/var/run/postgresql dbname=mail user=mailreader map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota username_field = username value_field = messages } With quota = dict:Domain:%d:proxy::sqlquota This works with a trigger by updating and , however I am unable to show the administrators a list of which of their users are using the most space. That is to be purely informative, and is not to be enforced. I would appreciate if there was a documented way to specify exact SQL queries to run for inserting, updating and selecting from the quota storage, something like this: -- CREATE VIEW quota_domain AS SELECT domain, sum(bytes), sum(messages) FROM quotas GROUP BY domain INSERT/UPDATE INTO quotas(username, domain, bytes, messages) SELECT bytes, messages from quota_domain WHERE domain = %d Is there such a possibility? If not, can you suggest a workaround to have a list of per-user quota usages as well as enforced per-domain quotas? Thanks, Akos Vandra

Mailbox aliases problem
by azurIt 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hi, i'm trying to implement malbox aliases but it's not fully working as i expected. This is my configuration: mail_plugins = acl mailbox_alias plugin { mailbox_alias_old = INBOX/Odoslane mailbox_alias_new = INBOX/SentTest } That 'INBOX/' must be there because of this (we were moving from Courier IMAP): namespace inbox { type = private prefix = INBOX/ separator = / inbox = yes list = yes } All of this is working fine, if i create folder SentTest, the link to folder Odoslane is correctly created on filesystem. The problem is that folder SentTest is invisible even after creation: 1 CREATE "INBOX/SentTest" 1 OK Create completed. 2 LIST "" "*" <all folders except SentTest are listed> 2 OK List completed. 3 LIST "INBOX/SentTest" "*" 3 OK List completed. 4 LIST "INBOX/Odoslane" "*" 4 LIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "/" INBOX/Odoslane 4 OK List completed. 5 CREATE "INBOX/SentTest" 5 NO [ALREADYEXISTS] Mailbox already exists 6 DELETE "INBOX/SentTest" 6 OK Delete completed. None of the e-mail clients i tried can see the folder. I'm using Dovecot 2.2.13 from Debian Wheezy (wheezy-backports). Any hints? azur

setting quota through IMAP
by Daniel Tröder 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

I'd like to set the quota of a user through the IMAP protocol. I use Pythons imaplib: imap.setquota("test1m(a)uni.dtr", "(storage 8192)") ('NO', ['Quota can be changed only by admin.']) So... which user is the "admin" user in a virtual user setting (passwd: PAM, userdb: LDAP)? Greetings Daniel

how do I conceptualize system & virtual users?
by lejeczek 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

I guess this would be a common case, I am hoping for some final clarification. a few Linux boxes share ldap (multi-master) backend that PAM/SSSD uses to authenticated users, and these LDAPs are also is used by Samba, users start @ uid 1000. Boxes are in the same both DNS and Samba domains. Do I treat these users as system or virtual users from postfix/dovecot perspective? If it can be a matter of choice then which is better/best? many thanks.

Dovecot 2.2.16: disappearing messages, mismatched summaries, duplicated messages, excessive full re-downloads
by David Gessel 20 Jun '15

20 Jun '15

My Dovecot 2.2.16 server is interacting poorly with a variety of mail clients. The symptoms include disappearing messages, mismatched summaries, duplicated messages, and excessive full re-downloads. Dovecot 2.2.16 on FreeBSD 10.1-release r280247M ZFS is interacting suboptimally with various email clients. Output of "dovecot -n" further down. *Client Artifacts* Thunderbird 31.6 Win 7 Ultimate SP1: - messages disappear and reappear with checks somewhat randomly. - Sometimes full re-download of folders is triggered, also seems random - Copies of messages appear, sometimes multiplying with each mail check up to about 5-8 or so of each message. - The summary information in the list pane doesn't match the message headers in the preview pane - quit and restart always cleans it up. - sometimes changing folders cleans it up, but not always - sometimes instigating a manual mail check cleans it up but not always Mulberry 4.08 Win 7 Ultimate SP1: - messages disappear and reappear - full re-scans of entire folders triggered occasionally when changing folders, but not always - message list filled with semi-blank entries (message number, status flags, and dates are listed, but no sender, subject, or body is available). The time stamps do not appear to be correct "date received". - message list fills with duplicates - the last of the set of duplicates, which are not necessarily sequentially numbered, has load-able body text and headers, but the others do not. There may be 3-5 copies, only one of which is the real message. The inbox is sequentially numbered by "message number" (the "natural order of the mailbox") and duplicates have unique numbers. - If there's a deleted message left, the "expunge" button is enabled and this also restores normal mailbox view. - disconnecting and reconnecting usually fixes the issues - changing mailboxes while connected sometimes fixes the issues. Claws 3.10.1 Win 7 Ultimate SP1 - initial load is correct, but once claws tries to sync mail, it locks up and never releases (even after days). Claws is weird like that. Sylpheed 3.4.2 Win 7 Ultimate SP1 - mail list always looks fine, but sometimes clicking a message shows "can't display" in the preview pane - "get messages" restores access to messages. Thunderbird 31.5 Linux Mint 17 Qaina 3.13.0-24-generic - messages disappear and reappear with checks somewhat randomly. - Sometimes full redownload of folders is triggered, also seems random - Copies of messages appear, sometimes multiplying with each mail check - The summary information in the list pane doesn't match the message headers in the preview pane - wrong message total (every other client agrees on 2576 but TB-linux says 3242, perhaps counting dups) Claws 3.9.3 Linux Mint 17 Qaina 3.13.0-24-generic - Occasionally shows "this message can't be displayed" - executing a "get mail" fixes the error K-9 5.004 Android 4.3 - messages appear and then disappear on the next check - message body is occasionally blank (only subject and arrival time appear, no body preview line, clicking on the message shows "no text" *Server artifacts:* dovecot.log shows runs of this error: Apr 15 09:02:37 imap(user(a)domain.com): Warning: Maildir /mail/domain.com/user//.Sent: Expunged message reappeared, giving a new UID (old uid=306286, file=1429102024.M826331P1156.host,S=1678,W=1724:2,S) or this error: Apr 15 10:04:00 indexer-worker(user(a)domain.com): Warning: Maildir /mail/domain.com/user//.Sent: Expunged message reappeared, giving a new UID (old uid=306803, file=1428785463.M645546P27215.host,S=5389,W=5442:2,S) # grep -c "Expunged message reappeared" dovecot.log.0 8981 The first entry in dovecot.log.0 is at Apr 15 10:00:12, and the last entry at Apr 15 12:00:13; Dovecot is logging 4,490 expunged message reappeared messages per hour.

I tried removing most of my customizations one by one and testing, but the problem has not been improved. I strongly suspect that the index files are getting thrashed or otherwise abused. I have no idea what's triggering whatever event is resulting in the thousands of expunged messages reappearing, but the client artifacts suggest a mismatch between cache or index files and files on disk: UID, keywords, and set date appear as if from cache but the body of the message does not. It seems as if the UID doesn't match a message on disk any more, which soon gets automatically fixed and everything syncs again until something re-triggers - a false expunge perhaps? Or perhaps the transaction log is suffering some sort of ongoing abuse? *dovecot -n* # dovecot -n # 2.2.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.7 # OS: FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE

I think reason was a damaged Index in ~username/mail/.imap/INBOX/ I removed this folder and immediately errors are gone and Mailbox was readable again. Never noticed this kind of errors for years on 2.1.17, maybe this helps to find a Bug in Code. Thanks, Hajo

hi everybody I've barely started reading on dsync and I wonder.. would you know if it is possible to sync/replicate only specific domain(users)? or it's always the whole lot? many thanks P.

Dovecot 2.1.9 shared folder deletion causes fault
by JT 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Hey all, I'm getting a fault in dovecot (see below) using shared folders. I have a mailbox that receives new mail (Account X/INBOX). Another account (Account A) has access to the other account (Account X/INBOX) with ACL below. The ACL directory (.DEFAULT) contains: user=AccountA lrwst I removed a test email from Account A/INBOX, which is supposed to remove the email from Account X/INBOX. A fault occurs whenever my client (Thunderbird) attempts to connect and complete the deletion. Other actions complete successfully. It only appears to happen when using Thunderbird. Mac Mail does not cause the fault. I'm not getting a core dump so all I have is what the log outputs. I can reproduce this regularly so let me know if you need any additional information.

maildir, how to always add size tags to filename (,S=).
by Sergei Franco 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi There, I have thoroughly read through documentation and wiki and I simply cannot find how to force dovecot to always add the size tag to the filename when using maildir format. We are using dovecot 2.2.9 (whatever comes from ubuntu 14.04 LTS). We are using dovecot in conjunction with exim with maidirsize file enabled and maildir quotas. For example exim has following configuration: maildir_tag = ,S=$message_size Which adds the size to the filename of the message. This has enormous (orders of magnitude) performance benefit as to calculate quota one does not need to stat every single file (only getents for each directory). I have wrote a script that adds the size tag retrospectively to files it didn't had it, and rebuild the dovecot index/cache if changes where made. This worked fine. Behaviour of dovecot is very peculiar: it generally adds the ,S= tag (along with ,W= tag) but occasionally it does not (I wander if it depends on the IMAP client). Is there anyway to force dovecot to add size tag to the files (like with exim example above)? Thank you very much. Sergei.

Best practices for mailbox network file storage?
by Andy Csillag 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Is there a current best practice for a shared filesystem backend for mailboxes (in my case, all virtual accounts)? NFS 3/4, GFS2, GlusterFS, other? In the case of the latter ones, is the use of Director necessary? Any specific anti-recommendations? Also, if it matters, I *think* I want to use BackBlaze racks for storage. Also, I've seen recommendations for the filesystem underneath like XFS or ext4 or whatever. Is there a best practice? Thanks, Drew

LMTP with Postfix Problem
by Steve Matzura 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Here's a maillog entry that's one of many I receive when I try sending a test message to my system. The recipient is a virtual user in /etc/virtual. The way I'm expecting it to work is that my message from me to this Postfix virtual user will be sent back to me. Every time the message delivery is attempted, Dovecot says the LMTP directory doesn't exist. I thought it was created automatically as messages arrive.

Pigeonhole vacation from alias address
by Dino Blazeka 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi everyone. I've set up my instance not to check recipient address with sieve_vacation_dont_check_recipient=yes to enable users to set up their vacation script without listing addresses (there are to many). Only problem remaining is that when they receive an e-mail sent to their alias, the vacation response comes from their original mail address. Is there a setting or workaround that would enable vacation extension to send response with from field set to whichever address the original message was addressed to. Thank you in advance, Dino P. S. This is my first message to the list so I apologize in advance if I have broken any rules. It was not done intentionally

privilege of process executed by extprograms plugin
by Takahiro Yakoh 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi, I'm just a beginner of extprograms plugin of sieve. When I execute a process via execute or pipe command, the process start with "root" privilege. Why? I believe the process must be executed with recipient privilege. Give me some checkpoints, or hints, please. My setup is as follows: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS 64bit + dovecot-core, dovecot-sieve plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_execute_bin_dir = /some/where sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.execute +vnd.dovecot.pipe sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /some/where sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" postmaster_address = postmaster(a)some.where } Yakoh

bug in indexer/indexer-worker
by Infoomatic 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi, I have already mentioned this in http://www.dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2014-November/098592.html I could reproduce the errors above in a self-compiled v2.2.18 and the prebuilt packages from xi.rename-it.nl (in addition to version 2.2.15 mentioned in the link) The problem occurs when enabling fts_tika in the plugins (tried tika 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8). I tried to move a folder of my mailbox with about 2000 mails to my server (no users, modern hardware). At some point I get an error and from this time on dovecot keeps repeating the last lines with every mail that comes in ... see [1] I then get kernel syslog messages like in [2]. when I try to index all users (had another testuser) mailboxes with "doveadm index" I get the errors of [3]. The mailfolder does contain mails with attachments of all sorts, videos, office documents etc. When disabling fts_tika it works. dovecot -n output is [4] Could someone of the devs please have a look? best regards, infoomatic [1] Then comes the panic which produces loads of errormessages below the "Raw backtrace" part: Jun 16 10:11:08 testhost dovecot: indexer-worker(user1): Warning: I/O leak:

FTS lucene and english + german mails
by Felix Zielcke 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi, I'm currently looking over the FTS pages to enable it in my dovecot. But I'm unsure what the best settings of the lucene plugin are, if you receive german and english mails. Wiki says: textcat_conf=<path> textcat_dir=<path>: If specified, enable guessing the stemming language for emails and search keywords. This is a little bit problematic in practice, since indexing and searching languages may differ and may not find even exact words because they stem differently. On Debian libstemmer is included in the debian-lucene package. So what settings are the best to have not the problem that exact words can't be found?

SOLR 5
by Robert Gierzinger 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hello, I just wanted to give SOLR 5 a try, however there probably have changed quite some bits in the config files, did not even manage to create a core with various solrconfig.xml and schema.xml files, but I am absolutely no expert in solr. Has anybody given it a try or are there some tips on how to get it running? regards, Robert

dsync userdb and required fields?
by lejeczek 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

hi, I'm fiddling with dsync and get these in the logs: auth: Error: password(ps655@): Password data is not valid for scheme SSHA: Input isn't valid base64 encoded data .. auth: Error: ldap(ns580(a),172.25.12.215): ldap_search(base=ou=,ou=mail,dc=virtual,dc=hosting filter=(&(objectclass=person) .... This is on a dovecot that I'd call second, to which I'd like to replicate, first dovecot which is already populated with users, etc. does not show these errors. and I also have seen complains about possixAccunt I think. Do these mean that there is a base minimum required from dovecot/dsync in order to deem/find a user as a valid user? Also I can tell that those users do belong to different domain (not even this RDN) than the one in which the second dovecot is trying to look. These fields/attributes are nowhere defined/mentioned in my configs thus I wonder. many thanks

Mail to nowhere
by Steve Matzura 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

The next phase of my testing procedure involves the simple act of delivering mail to my test box. When I send a message to either a valid or relayed user at my remote machine's address, it never gets there. I know this virtually for sure because I'm tailing /var/log/maillog and nothing new has been added for the past hour. I'm thinking eventually my ISP will send the message back to me as undeliverable, and in that bounced message there may be some information about why it was undeliverable, but maybe someone has a thought as to why I'm not even seeing anything attempt to connect?

replication of a big mailbox
by Tim Kuijsten 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

I'm running dovecots replicator successfully on 33 mailboxes. There is only one mailbox (the biggest one, 167000 mails) that is not replicating successfully. After 10 minutes the "source" starts logging these messages: dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: dsync(imap.netsend.nl): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: Timeout during state=sync_mails (send=mail_requests recv=changes) dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: Remote command process isn't dying, killing it dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: kill(17459, SIGKILL) failed: Operation not permitted dovecot: doveadm: Error: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(foo(a)example.com): Error: Couldn't lock //.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 30 seconds dovecot: doveadm: Error: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(foo(a)example.com): Error: Couldn't lock //.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 30 seconds The 30 seconds timeout keeps repeating, while the doveadm process on the destination keeps on going for hours and hours. Destination imap.netsend.nl is creating a lot of hardlinks (at least one hardlink per message) in .temp.... files. This takes about 1,5 hour, after that the number of hardlinks decline again. But it looks like the connection with source is already lost. I've patched the source to overcome the timeout by changing it from 10 minutes to 3 hours[1] but now I'm running into a memory error: dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: dsync(imap.netsend.nl): I/O has stalled, no activity for 10800 seconds dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: Timeout during state=sync_mails (send=done recv=mails) dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: mremap_anon(211677184) failed: Cannot allocate memory The allocate memory error shows up every 10 seconds. Next I'll try to look into the memory allocation code, but maybe someone already has a better idea?

Problem logging in during testing
by Steve Matzura 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/BasicConfiguration say the next thing to test after getting IMAP and Telnet working is to create a dummy user file with the following command: echo "$USER:{PLAIN}password:$UID:$GID::$HOME" > users And place it in /etc/dovecot and protect it appropriately. It was also edited to change the plain-text password from `password' to what it really is. The next section describes changes to 10-auth.conf and other things: If you used the example configuration files, switch to passwd-file by modifying conf.d/10-auth.conf: # Add '#' to comment out the system user login for now: #!include auth-system.conf.ext # Remove '#' to use passwd-file: !include auth-passwdfile.conf.ext In conf.d/auth-passwdfile.conf.ext you should have: passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users } Verify with doveconf -n passdb userdb that the output looks like above (and there are no other passdbs or userdbs). All done successfully. Now, when I telnet 127.0.0.1 143 and attempt to log in with the string: a login <any username> <any password> whether it's one in my users file or not, I get: a NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.

What became of dovecot.passwd?
by Steve Matzura 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Since I've decided to go to version 2, which is a lot more difficult to set up because I have to look in a lot more places than I did with version 1.0.15, what do I do with the old dovecot/passwd or its contents? I see no references to it in any of the stuff in conf.d or doc/dovecot/wiki. As always, thanks in advance.

More about my SSL certificate problem
by Steve Matzura 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Someone, I don't remember whether it was Alex or Urban, asked me to check on my private keyfile to see if it began with "Begin RSA private key". I reported that it does not. Now here's where things get strange: When I ran the command: $ openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -sha1 -keyout myserver.key -out server.csr on an old Ubuntu system, `myserver.key' does begin with "Begin RSA private key". But when I run that same command on a Fedora 20 system, the word "RSA" isn't there. Could this have anything to do with my 0906D06C error?

Testin new installation
by Steve Matzura 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

The first place I went to for test advice and planning recommendations was http://wiki2.dovecot.org/TestInstallation - The very first test failed. Doc says: Next check that Dovecot is listening for connections: # telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. If you got "connection refused", make sure that Dovecot is configured to serve the imap protocol and listening on the expected interfaces/addresses. The simplest way to do that would be using doveconf(1): # doveconf protocols listen protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve listen = *, :: If the protocols setting shouldn't contain imap so add it. Also make sure, that relevant !include or !try_include configuration lines are not commented. *** End doc extract *** All of the above specified settings are correct. Yet, when I telnet localhost 143, I get: Trying ::1... # this is certainly suspect Escape character is '^['. Connection closed by foreign host.

dsync replication issues with shared mailboxes
by Sergey Schwartz 15 Jun '15

Gentlemen, I've setup 2 servers with dsync replication and hit a serious issue - some messages got duplicated thousands times in some shared mailboxes(~5). There is actually no reason to replicate anything from shared name space and I've tried to limit replication scope with just 'inbox' name space but it didn't help. dovecot version ||2.2.18 (2de3c7248922) errors in the logs May 26 13:23:38 mx10 dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(korobova@mydomain): Error: Mailbox turkey: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (24498 + 8270) May 26 13:25:16 mx10 dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(korobova@mydomain): Error: Mailbox turkey: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (24498 + 8270) May 26 13:26:40 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(zhelonkina@mydomain): Error: Mailbox booking: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (0 + 32768) May 26 13:30:01 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(kashchits@mydomain): Error: Mailbox shared/davydjanc@mydomain/russia: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (17139 + 15629) May 26 13:30:01 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(davydjanc@mydomain): Error: Mailbox russia: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (17139 + 15629) May 26 13:30:01 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(kapitanova@mydomain): Error: Mailbox shared/davydjanc@mydomain/russia: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (17139 + 15629) May 26 13:30:03 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(grinenko@mydomain): Error: Mailbox shared/davydjanc@mydomain/russia: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (17139 + 15629) May 26 13:30:03 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(maslova@mydomain): Error: Mailbox shared/davydjanc@mydomain/russia: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (17139 + 15629) Data was not lost and I've been able to run deduplicate for most of mailboxes, but one mailbox got broken and I had to manually move message to another mailbox force-resync failed fot that mailbox doveadm(l.davydjanc@mydomain): Error: mdbox map /srv/vmail/current/mydomain/davydjanc/storage/dovecot.map.index corrupted: map_uid=361735 refcount too low Hope you guys have an idea how to work it around :) replication.conf dsync_remote_cmd = /usr/bin/ssh -i /home/vmail/.ssh/id_rsa -l %{login} %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u %u service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail mode = 0600 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail mode = 0600 } process_min_avail = 1 } service replicator { unix_listener replicator-doveadm { user = vmail mode = 0600 } process_min_avail = 1 } service doveadm { user = vmail process_min_avail = 1 } service config { unix_listener config { user = vmail } process_min_avail = 1 } replication_max_conns = 50 replication_dsync_parameters = -d -n inbox -l 30 -U plugin { mail_replica = remote:vmail@mx20 } doveconf -n #

dovecot only partially indexing ... fts
by Infoomatic 14 Jun '15

14 Jun '15

hi, I have a setup using solr as fts, however it seems that when I move messages it does not automatically index the stuff. Also, when using sieve scripts to store messages in different folders I get: dovecot: indexer-worker(user): Indexed 0 messages in testfolder If I get a mail to normal INBOX I get dovecot: indexer-worker(user): Indexed 1 messages in INBOX doveadm index -u user '*' does the trick, however, I have set "fts_autoindex = yes" ... the relevant part of doveconf -n: mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib acl quota zlib fts fts_solr acl plugin { fts = solr fts_autoindex = yes fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8983/solr/ break-imap-search sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags } protocol lda { mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib sieve acl } protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib acl quota imap_acl imap_quota } is this normal behaviour or did I screw something up? TIA, infoomatic

LDA versus LMTP
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

My system has a great big four users. The Dovecot wiki says LMTP is more efficient, and someone on IRC told me I'd need it if I were ever to use sieve, which at this time I have no intention of doing. Should I stick with LDA, or just implement LMTP so I'm ready if ever I need it in the future? The bottom line is, it's unclear from the wiki how to explicitly specify use of one or the other, so that's my question.

Non-Existent Log File
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

My /var/log/maillog was getting pretty big because of lots of testing and re-configuring I've been doing lately with both Dovecot and Postfix. I figured just remove /var/log/maillog and it would be re-created. It wasn't--not by Dovecot, not by Postfix. I had to manually create a new one, put one character in it, save it, properly secure it with chmod, and then Dovecot (and postfix) messages got written to it. This can't possibly be the proper procedure to clear maillog messages ... can it?

Error when starting Dovecot
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

After applying some changes to 10-master.conf as detailed at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP I receive the following when trying to start: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 49: Expecting '{' I'm trying to enable LMTP. The instructions say: Socket configuration The actual socket is configured in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf. The LMTP service can be bound to both INET or Unix sockets. In this example a Unix socket is placed inside the Postfix spool with appropriate permissions set: service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } I copied this block and placed it in my copy of 10-master.conf. Line 49 is the first line of this block, and there's clearly a left-brace there. The braces match, too. Thoughts?

Imap Notify
by Tony Morehen 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

I'm trying to enable Imap Notify in Dovecot 2.2.13. I know that's a bit out of date, but that's what's provided with openSuSe 13.2. The first thing I did was add mailbox_list_index=yes to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. Both doveadm -n and dovecot -n show the change. I then used doveadm reload to force dovecot to reread its config file. Despite this, NOTIFY did not show up it Dovecot's capabilities: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. I then did a systemctl restart dovecot.service and still no luck: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. I also have noticed that the Maildirs of my various accounts include a dovecot.list.index file with a current timestamp, but no dovecot.list.index. So, where do I go for here? The output of doveadm -n: # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.7-21-desktop x86_64 openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64) disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mailbox_list_index = yes managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } postmaster_address = Tony@localhost protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener auth-master { group = mailgrp mode = 0660 user = mailuser } } service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 2525 } user = mailuser } ssl = no userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep } protocol pop3 { mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 } protocol lda { log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules mail_plugins = sieve } protocol lmtp { log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules mail_plugins = sieve }

1.0.15 gone, can't start version 2
by Steve Matzura 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

On advice/recommendation received on this list, I removed version 1.0.15 with: rm -rf /usr/local/dovecot However, now that I have version 2 properly installed, configured, and ready to start testing with Postfix, it appears the old version is still in /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/include, /usr/local/libexec, /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/shared/doc. Thinking that anything in /usr/local is something that was installed s a result of having built it from source (which 1.0.15 definitely was), should these also be removed?

Replication: "cross-updates" of mail meta-data
by Andre Nathan 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Hello I have a two-server dovecot setup using replication. Each server runs two dovecot instances, one for director and another for the backend. Initially I set up a single server, got it all working, then rsync'd the data and index partitions to the new one and started the clusters (I used rsync as a way to speed-up dovecot's initial replication). Both servers listen on a virtual IP addresses load-balanced by IPVS as well as their own IP addresses. When I started dovecot in the second server, users started reporting that some of their messages were missing. I noticed that while the mail data seemed to be up to date in server1, it wasn't in server2; however, the indexes were being updated in server2 but not in server1. For example, "doveadm quota get -u some-user" would report the wrong value in server1 and the right value in server2, while a "du" would show that only server1 actually had the most up-to-date data. At the moment I had to take down server2, because as soon as dovecot is running in it, users start reporting missing messages again. To solve that problem, a "doveadm force-resync" in server1 isn't enough. I either rsync the index files from server2 or remove the indexes in server1 before the force-resync, which then works. Has anyone ever saw anything similar to this? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with dovecot 2.2.15 with the configurations below: === Backend instance === # dovecot -n # 2.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.0-37-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@= auth_worker_max_count = 10 disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = secret doveadm_port = 12345 listen = server1.mydomain.com mail_fsync = never mail_gid = dovemail mail_plugins = " notify replication quota" mail_uid = dovemail managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex copy include vacation-seconds imapflags notify namespace { inbox = yes location = mailbox SPAM { auto = subscribe } prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-master.conf.ext driver = sql master = yes pass = yes } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:192.168.0.2:12345 #

When starting Dovecot 1.0.15 after building it from source using the standard procedure, I receive the following message when starting, even though SLL_DISABLE=No: Error: SSL support not compiled in but ssl_disable=no Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf How is SSL support configured and built in? I know it has something to do with the --SSL_CFLAGS flag.

Order of keys
by Steve Matzura 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

I hope I'm asking this on the right list, in the right place. I go through this every three years and for whatever reason keep forgetting to record how this works! In the Dovecot config, there are two places to define SSL certificates--ssl_cert_file and ssl_key_file. My question is this: Which two of the three files--the certifying authority, the signed certificate for the specific system, and the private certificate file--are combined to create the file that goes with ssl_cert_file? Since there are six possible permutations to answer this question (because order of files matters), which two go with ssl_crt_file and in what order? I have a private certificate file, the certifying authority's .CRT file, and the certifying authority's signed .PEM file which contains the system's certified certificate. Thanks in advance.

I try to create a sieve rule on a Ubuntu server ( managed by i-mscp) For this rule i need the editheader extension. I edited /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf and added the following: plugin { #sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags sieve_extensions = +editheader ....

Dovecot mbox & other programs
by Pali Rohár 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hello, I want to use dovecot as imap server with mbox storage format (described at [1]) but I also want to access (and modify!) those mbox files which are stored on server (and used by dovecot). What is correct way to read those mboxes? From wiki page [1] I read that I should ignore first message in mbox (which contains X-IMAPbase header) and mbox file is in mboxcl2 format. And what is correct way to modify that mbox file (which is used by dovecot imap)? I would like to configure mutt on server to directly access those mbox mailboxes without need to use imap protocol (over localhost). It is possible without any data/message damage?

special_use \Archive not working with some foldernames
by Hajo Locke 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hello list, i use dovecot 2.2.18 compiled on my own and want to report an odd behaviour when using a folder for special_use \Archive. In my case it is not working when using some special foldernames (mbox). I compared to version 2.2.15 which i found pre-packaged on launchpad.net, same behaviour. All other special_use Folder work like expected. My situation: We authenticate users using mysql-db. also we allow users to store individuell special_use settings in db. this is a way which was recommended by this mailinglist some years ago. we use a password_query like this: password_query = SELECT `inbox` as `user`, `password`, `home` as userdb_home, `uid` AS userdb_uid, `gid` AS userdb_gid, `userdb_import` AS userdb_userdb_import FROM `mail_users` WHERE `login` = '%u' AND `active`='Y' typical column in db looks like this: | username | cryptedpass | path | inboxname | uid | gid | Y | namespace/inbox/mailbox=Sent namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/name=Gesendet namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/special_use=\Sent namespace/inbox/mailbox=Drafts namespace/inbox/mailbox/Drafts/name=EntwÃ¼rfe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Drafts/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Drafts/special_use=\Drafts namespace/inbox/mailbox=Trash namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/name=Papierkorb namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/special_use=\Trash namespace/inbox/mailbox=Junk namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/name=Spam namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/special_use=\Junk namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Archiv namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive | Now i noticed that in this case the folder Archiv was not binded to special_use \Archive: * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Junk) "/" Spam * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Drafts) "/" Entw&APw-rfe * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Sent) "/" Gesendet * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Trash) "/" Papierkorb * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" Archiv * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX If i change the name of folder which is binded to special_use \Archive its working again, no other changes: * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Archive) "/" Archiviu or a shorter one: * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Archive) "/" Arc It works in most cases, it is not working if i have chosen name "Archiv". It seems also that autocreating of folder is not working if name is "Archiv". I activated the debug settings but was not helpful. Looks the same in all cases: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Arc Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive or: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Archiviu Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive or the not working one: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Archiv Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive I have no idea what is going wrong here. I have no further hints in my logs. What to do now? Any ideas? Thanks, Hajo

Backup performance may be another big win for Maildir, especially for incremental backups. Be that as it may ... > And my question was how to properly read and write from/to mbox files > which are used by dovecot. Dovecot mailbox indices are self-healing: indices should be rengenerated automatically when the mailbox is out of sync with regards to the indices. There may be a few complaints in the mail logs about it (e.g. UIDVALIDITY changes), but they are mostly harmless. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Does Dovecot allow different clients to subscribe different subsets of IMAP folders?
by Steve 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

I have a working Dovecot IMAP server (v. 2.2.9) where I have a single user but a lot of folders (over 800 in total, hierarchically arranged, about 50 of which are in active use.) I have multiple clients (including k9Mail on Android and Thunderbird on Linux and Windows). These clients all present a consistent subscription to a single subset of the available folders . What I'd like to be able to do is (somehow) allow different devices (different email clients) to subscribe to a different subset of folders. For example, I may want K9mail on my phone to be subscribed only to my "main Inbox" - but for Thunderbird on Windows to also be subscribed to active mailing-list folders. Does Dovecot support such a mode of operation? If so, how do I configure it? If not, what options are there to achieve the desired end result - i.e. different devices/IMAP clients subscribed to different subsets of the universe of folders available to a single user. Mandatory details: Version : 2.2.9 Configuration: See http://paste.ubuntu.com/11564807/

Testing SHA512-CRYPT password hashes with doveadm pw -t fails

Misleading SSL/TLS Log Messages
by Yahooguntu 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi all, I think I've found a small bug in how Dovecot logs SSL/TLS info. Basically, if I connect to the server using TLS, the logs have a lot of entries saying I used SSLv3 (which is not allowed). Here's my system info: OSX Yosemite (x86_64, HFS+) Dovecot 2.2.15 (via Homebrew) OpenSSL 0.9.8zd The configuration (see below) disallows SSLv3, and if I try and connect with OpenSSL to test that ("openssl s_client -connect localhost:993 -ssl3") it fails as expected. If I do the same command, but with "-tls1" instead of "-ssl3", I can connect and run IMAP commands. The problem is, if I open up the Dovecot logs and look at the SSL log messages, they all say I used SSLv3. As an example, this is a truncated log from when I connected to the server and immediately did a LOGOUT: 14:50:59 : master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=unknown 0) 14:51:03 : master: Dovecot v2.2.15 starting up for imap, lmtp (core dumps disabled) 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: elliptic curve secp384r1 will be used for ECDH and ECDHE key exchanges 14:51:13 --- last message repeated 1 time --- 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before/accept initialization [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before/accept initialization [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client hello A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server hello A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write certificate A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write key exchange A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server done A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 flush data [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 --- last message repeated 1 time --- 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read finished A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write session ticket A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write change cipher spec A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write finished A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 flush data [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x20, ret=1: SSL negotiation finished successfully [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=1: SSL negotiation finished successfully [127.0.0.1] 14:51:19 : imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts in 6 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS, session=<QdX1YaIXTQB/AAAB> 14:51:19 : imap-login: Debug: SSL alert: close notify [127.0.0.1] The second to last line, which indicates I never tried to log in, correctly states that I used TLS.

indexer-worker crashes handling mails with big attachments (dovecot 2.2.16/2.2.18 + FTS Apache Solr + Tika)
by Robinson Bomze 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi, yesterday i tried to setup Dovecot with Solr (3.6.2) + Tika (1.8) for FTS. i used a fresh Debian 8.0 system in the beginning with Dovecot 2.2.13 from the Debian repository. After i got some issues with Tika/Dovecot and i read on the mailinglist that these problems where fixed in 2.2.14+, so i tried 2.2.18. With 2.2.18 i get panics with big (ok... huge) attachments. Most mailboxes (and their attachments) get index fine, but on some i got panics from the indexer-worker. i was able to isolate the problem. It seems that when Tika (which works flawless) sends a big reply to Dovecot and Dovecot sends this data to Solr, communication crashes between Dovecot and Solr. Eg. indexing an email with a 200k char wordfile results in a panic of the indexer-worker: Jun 02 23:50:57 indexer-worker(username): Warning: I/O leak: 0x7ff65f39f540 (line 120, fd 20) Jun 02 23:50:57 indexer-worker(username): Warning: Timeout leak: 0x7ff65f39f2e0 (line 325) Jun 02 23:50:57 indexer: Error: Indexer worker disconnected, discarding 1 requests for username Jun 02 23:50:57 imap(username): Error: indexer failed to index mailbox INBOX.username Jun 02 23:50:57 indexer-worker(username): Fatal: master: service(indexer-worker): child 11429 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) I got similar issues results with 2.2.16: Jun 02 23:21:12 indexer-worker(username): Warning: I/O leak: 0x7ffff7811cc0 (line 127, fd 20) Jun 02 23:21:12 indexer-worker(username): Panic: file ioloop.c: line 39 (io_add_file): assertion failed: (callback != NULL) Jun 02 23:21:12 indexer-worker(username): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x77130) [0x7ffff7842130] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x7 Jun 02 23:21:12 indexer: Error: Indexer worker disconnected, discarding 1 requests for username Jun 02 23:21:12 imap(username): Error: indexer failed to index mailbox INBOX.username Jun 02 23:21:12 indexer-worker(username): Fatal: master: service(indexer-worker): child 7909 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) The problem was already posted: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-May/100901.html I could trigger the same panic running the indexer via 'doveadm index -u username MAILBOX'.

multi sync (>2 servers) + selective sync + trigger
by b-dovecot.org＠grmbl.net 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi all, I've been researching ways to replicate mail across multiple mailstores and have a few questions. Synching 2 mailstores (M1 & M2) via dsync works fine. I want to add a 3rd and 4th (M3 & M4) server to also be synced. Multi-sync (>2 servers): 1) How do I tell M1 and/or M2 to also sync to M3 and/or M4? Selective sync: 2) How do I sync specific domains to specific servers and not to others? Trigger: 3) Does a normal sync check only check the mailbox being changed or does it get triggered on mailbox changes to check ALL indexes and sync all changed mailboxes accordingly? 4) Can I use an email to trigger a sync for any other mailboxes which might be out of sync? TIA B

Outlook Express with XP...
by SH Development 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Dovecot 2.0.9 I am able to connect successfully with Thunderbird, Win 8, Apple Mail, iPhone, iPad. Outlook Express on Win XP receives just fine, but will not send. I get a "Client host rejected: Access denied” message. I believe this is simply Postfix telling me the connection isn’t properly authenticated, as setting up the exact same credentials on another client (non OE) works. It is only with OE on XP that I am unable to send/authenticate. I have literally tried every combination of settings in OE and nothing works. What else might I need to enable to get this working? Using SSL, ports 993, 587 PLAINTEXT. dovecot -n as follows: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.6 (Final) ext4 log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_max_userip_connections = 50 namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = root } ssl_ca = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/intermediate.pem ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log postmaster_address = postmaster(a)starionhost.net } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv }

As others have noted, your MTA handles the connection. I believe Windows XP needs to be updated to the latest service patch to handle SSLv3 disabled sites. Try checking to make sure your Postfix SSL security settings and your WinXP SSL capabilities are compatible. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Pop3 service stops responding
by Mike Eriksson 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

Hi! I have problem with the pop3 service stops responding at random intervals on my server. We started to notice this problem as we're running icinga to check the imap & pop3 service. When icinga reports that the service is down. We try to telnet to the server on port 110 but it refuses the connection. I've checked the netstat during this time and it's listens on port 110. My first thought we were hitting the max connections and similar. Changed login_max_connections from 128 to 256. Didnt solve the problem. Started the debug on the dovecot server but could not see anything in the logs. Also the error log or the syslog dosnt report anything that I can see. Best thing would of course be to start and upgrade the software and os(Debian 5) but I'm not comfortable upgrading it at the moment as my knowledge about dovecot / postfix isn't great. Do you have any idéas how to move forward? dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot-error.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 imap imaps pop3s ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_max_processes_count: 256 first_valid_uid: 1090 last_valid_uid: 1090 first_valid_gid: 1090 last_valid_gid: 1090 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv auth default: username_chars: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@% username_translation: %@ username_format: %Lu passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: quota: maildir sieve_global_path: /etc/dovecot/sieve_scripts/spam-sort.sieve login_max_processes_count: 256 login_max_connections: 256 max_mail_processes: 1024 Best Regards Mike

Failed running extprograms execute via socket - fatal recv(MSG_PEEK) failed disconnected

I switched from running my extprograms execute script directly to running with dovecot socket. Log shows only this dovecot: lmtp(test(a)example.com): Debug: wdi0Tb5VPlGfPnEAM/SpMA: sieve: action execute: running program: test dovecot: lmtp(test(a)example.com): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /vmail/example.com/test: mode=0770 gid=default dovecot: script: Fatal: recv(MSG_PEEK) failed: disconnected For testing I opened up the script and socket with permissions 777 but the error seems to indicate less about permissions more about some kind of protocol problem i guessing. Sieve script calls using this: execute "test"; Plugin config: plugin { sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.execute sieve_execute_socket_dir = sieve-execute sieve_before = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve } service test { executable = script /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve_globals/test.sh unix_listener sieve-execute/test { mode = 0660 group = vmail } } FYI I have quota-warning sockets configured identical to this and they work good.

Sieve extprograms ?not exexuting?
by E.B. 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Hello, I was testing the extprograms plugin. I think I had it working in the past, but many things have changed since then, so no use trying to figure out where it broke - starting over again... Debug-enabled log give me: Apr 27 04:11:36 mail dovecot: lmtp(test(a)example.com): Debug: qOGyA0DePHVaOyHEM/SpMA: sieve: action execute: running program: test.sh Apr 27 04:11:36 mail dovecot: lmtp(test(a)example.com): Debug: waiting for program `/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve_globals/test.sh' to finish after 0 seconds So I guess it thinks it is running my script? But simple test script does nothing. Here it is: #!/bin/sh read INPUT INPUT="Hello world: $INPUT" echo "$INPUT" >> /tmp/hello echo "---------------------------" >> /tmp/hello Permissions on this script file for now are rwxrwxrwx But nothing goes to /tmp/hello at all. Script works when I run it manually. I also tried without the "read" but I think that's required isn't it? Anyway, what else can I do to debug this? Dovecot 2.2.16 Pigeonhole 0.4.7

OT: Central sieve management
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 29 May '15

29 May '15

A bit off topic, but I was wondering if anyone here has a solution for centrally managing sieve for multiple users from a custom web application? We would like to implement pigeonhole sieve on our dovecot cluster, however we need to be able to access user’s sieve configurations from a central location for troubleshooting and support purposes.

Enabling Master User for migration
by Charles Marcus 29 May '15

29 May '15

Hi all, Ok, just need a quick-n-dirty way to enable a master user for a migration... Reading the docs, I'm not sure what the bare minimum is I need to do this... At: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers The Example config shows: auth_master_user_separator = * passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes pass = yes } passdb { driver = shadow } userdb { driver = passwd } But, if I'm using a non-real user (just need a master user that can log in as all other users for the migration), do I need all three of these? Or just the first two? Or, just the first one? I think I need the first two and not the last one, but am unsure. This is on a production system so don't want to break things, and I'm unfamiliar with using multiple passdb's... Thanks, Charles

Shared inbox?
by Chris Ross 29 May '15

29 May '15

I'm running dovecot 2.2.16 on my FreeBSD mail server. I've read information on the wiki about setting up shared mailboxes, but I want to do something that isn't really coved by the instructions I was reading there. My son (now 7 years old) has an account on the system, but doesn't use it directly. But, for things he's interested in like Minecraft, and/or the local zoo, we have given out his email address in a small number of places. What I would like to set up, both for now while he's not actually ever reading his email himself, and perhaps even for the future when we teach and/or allow for that, is for my wife and I to be able to "view" his inbox from our accounts. The instructions for setting up shared folders all are written so that they're secondary folders to all accounts. Is there a way to either (a) configure sharing someone elses Inbox by other accounts, or (b) setting up a separately configured shared folder to _act_ as the inbox for a single account? Thanks. Any suggestions to achieve the above described end goal would be appreciated. - Chris

Creating IMAP folders/subfolders with Thunderbird
by Alex Regan 29 May '15

29 May '15

Hi, I have dovecot-2.2.15 on fedora21 with Thunderbird and having some difficulty creating subfolders and deleting folders. Creating subfolders results in a folder at the root with a caret instead of a slash called folder^subfolder with an entry in .subscriptions with that name, instead of a new folder under the directory. I'm also unable to delete any folders. The command from within Thunderbird is just completely ignored. Any idea what's happening here? Thanks, Alex

X-UID in mail header is removed?
by mkawada＠redhat.com 28 May '15

28 May '15

Dear Dovecot Mailing List, I have 2 questions regarding dovecot and would very much appreciate if you would kindly give me helps. <Question 1> Is 'X-UID' no longer shown in mail header via pop3? I have checked with the following 3 version of dovecot packages in order to make sure if a message sent by dovecot have 'X-UID' in its mail header, and the result is that only "dovecot-0.99.11-10.EL4" shows 'X-UID' and the other ones do not(Please see the result written in the second half of this mail). <Question 2> Is 'X-UID' used for checking if a message has already been sent to a user so that he never gets any duplicated mails that are already in his mbox? The reason why I am asking this here is that I am working on a problem that a user sometimes gets a duplicated mail from dovecot if the user keeps mails on the server as its settings. I actually thought this kind of thing would happen if the 'UIDL' gets corrupted or changed for some reasons. However, it is said that this issue never happened in using "dovecot-0.99.11-10.EL4" which shows 'X-UID' in mail header and in using "dovecot-2.0.9-8.el6_6.4" which does not show 'X-UID', the issue happens sometimes. Thus, I would like information indicating what is exactly used to avoid getting any duplicated messages while downloading a message via pop3 from dovecot.

>But when you write NOT to regenerate, are you saying that using larger primes makes regenerating unnecessary, or are you telling us that it's somehow harmful? For a given computational effort, you get the most bang-for-the-buck by choosing large parameters (and checking very carefully that they are "safe") rather than smaller parameters (and/or checking them less carefully) which you then regenerate. Every time you regenerate, there's a small (but finite) probability that the new parameters are actually unsafe. You'd do better using those CPU cycles to improve the proof that your original set of parameters was safe (admittedly, no one actually does this), rather than generating a new set. Remember, the DH parameters (p,g) are NOT secret; they are transmitted in the clear everytime. As long as you're using Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (choosing new exponents, a and b, for each session) with large safe DH parameters, it's hard to think of a threat model where you improve the security AT ALL by regenerating the DH parameters.

>It is not at this point emphasized anywhere, including on weakdh.org, that it is actually of high importance to regenerate your DH parameters frequently. That's not really correct. If you're using a prime of length at least 2048 bits, then the corresponding discrete-log problem is well-beyond the pre-computation ability of the NSA (or anyone else). It is computationally intensive to generate such large primes, p (and corresponding base parameter, g). You need to ensure that p is actually prime (the costly step [1]) and that g is primitive. Which is why most implementations have used shorter (<= 1024 bit) primes. Using shorter primes, and regenerating DH parameters at regular intervals, is only a linear-time improvement. By contrast, generating longer DH parameters (without bothering to regenerate) is an EXPONENTIAL improvement in security. So the best setting is to set ssl_dh_parameters_length as large as feasible ([2] recommends 2048 bits), and NOT to regenerate.

FREAK/Logjam, and SSL protocols to use
by Ron Leach 27 May '15

27 May '15

List, good afternoon, I was reading up on a TLS Diffie Hellman protocol weakness described here https://weakdh.org/sysadmin.html which is similar to the earlier FREAK attack, and can result in downgrade of cipher suites. Part of the solution workaround that the researchers describe for Dovecot here https://weakdh.org/sysadmin.html includes altering DH parameters length to 2048, and re-specifying the allowable cipher suites - they give their suggestion. But the researchers make no comment on the allowable protocols that, in Dovecot, are controlled in 10-ssl.conf in the stanza headed # SSL protocols to use #ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 I couldn't find any advice on up-to-date SSL/TLS protocol settings in the Dovecot wiki, either (I looked in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration ). At the moment our installation is using only the default settings for allowed protocols; I'm not sure what those defaults might be, but our 10-ssl.conf may only be disallowing SSLv2, if the 'example' entry is the default. We're running 2.2.15, and are due to upgrade to 2.2.18 shortly; quite possibly the defaults differ in a more recent release. What SSL protocols do folk on the list recommend should be allowed in Dovecot these days? (Actually, I mean which protocols really 'must' be disallowed?) regards, Ron

/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem erased by OpenSuse's update mechanism
by Wolfgang Gross 27 May '15

27 May '15

Hi, this is not a genuine Dovecot bug, more a nuisance. It applies to OpenSuse 13.2 but maybe also to other Linux's. The standard installation of Dovecot (especially 10-ssl.conf) places the certificate dovecot.pem in /etc/ssl/certs. Sometimes during updates does OpenSuse renew all certificates in /etc/ssl/certs and erases dovecot.pem. This blocks further access to the mailbox. I found a similar report here: https://bbs.archlinux.de/viewtopic.php?id=27288 Workaround: Move dovecot.pem to another directory and change 10-ssl.conf accordingly. Regards Wolfgang Gross -- Dr. W.

Can email be shared between POP3 and shell account access?
by Steve Matzura 26 May '15

26 May '15

I needed to receive a message to admin(a)mydomain.com. I waited and waited for it, but it never showed up in the admin mailbox on the mydomain.com machine. So I looked for the admin account in /etc/dovecot.passwd, and there it was, plain-text password and all! I set up a retrieval system for the admin POP3 account and got all the messages I was waiting for, not to mention about 20 that I wasn't, which were obviously old and discardable. This got me to thinking, is it possible to have an account accessible not just via POP3 from the ouside, but through mail/mailx on the inside, and if so, how is that set up?

sieve: extract first chars of body in sieve script
by Ingo Thierack 26 May '15

26 May '15

Hello, is it possible to extract the first x chars of the body of an message to forward it, or the complete body inside an sieve script. I want to forward specific mails via telegram-messenger. No Problem to extract the "from" and the "subject". if header :matches "Subject" "*" { set "subject" "${1}"; } if header :matches "from" "*" { set "from" "${1}"; } pipe :copy :try "notify.sh" [ "(${from})# ${subject}" ]; But is it also possible for the body? If I can only pass the complete body, I can cut out the first x chars inside the notify-script. Can't find any hint for that. Regards Ingo

timeout for POP3 query.
by Christian Eichert 25 May '15

25 May '15

Is there a way to timeout POP3 query if they come to often? More precise I want to know if there is a setting in dovecot that makes it ignore pop3 requests from a certain user if they come more often then a certain amount of time. I am looking for a setting in dovecot, not a firewall solution. I would like dovecot to answer something like "requests come to often, please come back later." regards christian

Controlling IP addresses for services
by Alex 24 May '15

24 May '15

Hi, I'm using dovecot-2.2.15 on fedora21 and would like to configure pop3s and imaps to only listen on localhost and internal addresses. It seems the listen= parameter only supports ports, not IP addresses. Is it possible to control which IPs the services listen on? I'm also interested in knowing the differences between pop3-login and just the pop3 service? Same with imap-login and imap? I've searched the wiki and still a bit confused. Thanks, Alex

Problem with sieve not triggering randomly?
by Chris Adams 23 May '15

23 May '15

I'm running CentOS 7.1 with Dovecot 2.2.10 (CentOS packaged version). I have Postfix feeding messages to Dovecot for local delivery via LMTP, and I have Amavisd for spam filtering. For messages above a certain threshold, Amavisd adds the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" header, and I file that into the Spam folder using a default (system-wide) sieve script (there aren't any per-user sieve scripts set up): require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Spam"; } I can see it work on my test messages and from lmtp log entries. However, it doesn't seem to always work. I had a user complain about a spam increase, and I looked in their mailbox. I see a message with the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" header, but it is in the INBOX (and the corresponding lmtp log entry shows that's where it went). Why would the sieve script work on some messages and not others? I don't see any errors in the log. I see a bunch of messages from the same source to different users, and they were all filed into INBOX, not Spam. Looking at the message in question, it is a pretty bogus message. There are multiple From: and Subject: headers. Would that cause sieve to "punt" on the message (but not log anything about it)? -- Chris Adams <cma(a)cmadams.net>

Dovecot-Director, (Manage)-Sieve und Remote-IP
by Benjamin Hück 23 May '15

23 May '15

Hello, I`ve got a question about Dovecot-Director and (Manage)-Sieve: is there any possibility to pass-through the original IP-address to the backend server? In this case I try to pass-through the IP-address of a webmail server. I`ve looked for a solution in different forums and tried it with the parameter "login_trusted_networks", however no success. The above solution is working with IMAP/POP3/LMTP, but not with Sieve. For any solutions or any hint I would be grateful.

dovecot 2.2.18 and ssl_parameters_regenerate
by django＠nausch.org 22 May '15

22 May '15

HI Timo, On http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration I read in chapter SSL security settings: When Dovecot starts up for the first time, it generates new 512bit and 1024bit Diffie Hellman parameters and saves them into <prefix>/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat. After the initial creation they're by default regenerated every week. With newer computers the generation shouldn't take more than a few seconds, but with older computers it can take as long as half an hour. The extra security gained by the regeneration is quite small, so with slower computers, for Dovecot versions prior to v2.2, you might want to disable it If I discover the default-value of ssl_parameters_regenerate I receive: # doveconf -d ssl_parameters_regenerate ssl_parameters_regenerate = 0 In your doku you wrote, that dovecot will regenerate every week. :/ ? I set it to "1 hours" and watch if /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat is build every hour, but nothing happens. ssl-parameters.dat is only rebuild, if I change ssl_dh_parameters_length What's the problem? What I've made false? ttyl Django -- http://dokuwiki.nausch.org http://wetterstation-pliening.info http://ebersberger-liedersammlung.de

Log mail access
by Philipp Brüll 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hello, is it somehow possible to log the access to a mail? The log entry should be written, if a user fetches a mail via imap or pop3. It would be convenient for debugging. I've checked the Logging-Wiki and the docs for the mail_log plugin, but they seem to log any event but "mail access". Best regards, Philipp

Re: Controlling shared folder rename?
by andy＠thecsillags.com 19 May '15

19 May '15

Eventually I figured out a solution that looks like it should work; postlogin scripting described here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting . Specifically, the sample at the bottom that adds a shared folder, obviously will need some work to make it work the way I want, but it should work. May 19 2015 3:18 PM, andy(a)thecsillags.com (mailto:andy@thecsillags.com) wrote: Dovecot version 2.2.16 I'm using shared folders and what I'd like to do is either have the folder that gets shared be able to be renamed by the user, or failing that, to be able to have an administrator define how the shared folder shows up to the account it's shared to. For example, right now, the INBOX owned by testuser(a)mydomain.com (mailto:testuser@mydomain.com) is shared to otheruser@mydomain as shows up as shared/testuser(a)mydomain.com (mailto:testuser@mydomain.com) because of the prefix directive in the shared namespace in 10-mail.conf. It would be nice if, either via a dict (like the way the acls work), or via normal IMAP folder commands, that I control how it shows up to otheruser@mydomain. So if I could do something like: prefix = proxy::sharedname or similar. Currently trying to rename from IMAP fails -- given the way my understanding of how things works is, I'm not surprised, but hey, it was worth a shot right? First, does the question make sense? Two, is there a way to do this? Thanks, :Drew

Understanding the "doveadm replicator status" output
by Listas＠Adminlinux 19 May '15

19 May '15

Where can I get more detailed information about the output of the 'doveadm replicator status' ? man doveadm-replicator isn't enough. For example, Total number of known users = 29409, but the server has only 17667 users. This is confusing. Look: # doveadm user '*' |wc -l 17667 # doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 12962 Waiting 'failed' requests 16447 Total number of known users 29409 What it means to "Queued full resync requests" ? thanks!

Can't achieve alias working with SQL
by Samuel 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hello, On a fresh install of Jessie, I achieve to make dovecot/postfix working with SQL, but I still can't send email to alias for wich one I get : "Unknown user" After debug enable in dovecot, I see that the user_query SQL , just query for the "users" table and not the "forward" table so the final alias user is not known. But when I check postfix for alias, it seems ok : root@cluster-dovecot:/etc/dovecot# postmap -q contact2(a)XXXXXXXX.com mysql:alias_maps contact(a)XXXXXXXXXX.com So what do I missed for alias working with dovecot ? Do I need a special conf in master.conf for sending alias AND final recipient or do I have to change the dovecot user_query for taking in acount the "forward" table in the SQL query ? .... or other thing I could miss ...

Marcus, Thanks for the spec file. I'm fairly new to creating RPM's and I just found out that the issue is taking place during the 'make check' portion of the spec file. I'm not sure what 'make check' does after having googled it, although, I think it checks for run-time errors. Any hints?

Imap process timeout to quota proxy on logout after async commit
by Fernando Coelho 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hi there, I am having some trouble implementing a quota proxy server for a memcached based dict (I am using the version 2.2.15). I created a multi-threaded daemon that is using non-blocking sockets to receive the data and reply to dovecot. Right now everything but the atomic increase message is working great. Here is an example of such a message: B1 A1 priv/quota/storage 86583 A1 priv/quota/messages 1 D1 The program process it and I replies:OA1 Everything keeps working as expects until the user sends the imap a logout command. The only problem is that for some reason dovecot tries to read data from server without sending anything, and after 30 seconds it exits with an timeout error. The following message is logged: May 18 22:46:00 imap[11654]: user 29908633#perm!terra (29908633#perm!terra) from 127.0.0.1: Error: read(/tmp/quotatest) failed: Timeout after 30 seconds May 18 22:46:00 imap[11654]: user 29908633#perm!terra (29908633#perm!terra) from 127.0.0.1: Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=40 out=827 May 18 22:46:00 imap[11654]: user 29908633#perm!terra (29908633#perm!terra) from 127.0.0.1: Error: dict quota: Quota update failed, it's now desynced The really strange part is that it only fails if and atomic increase was sent and only when the user logs out. I use the same pattern ("OA<transaction id>\n") to reply for other commits (such as when there is an unset followed by a set) and there is no issue. Is there anything that I am missing? Thanks in advance.

Dovecot Replication - Architecture Endianness?
by Reuben Farrelly 16 May '15

16 May '15

Hi all, I've had an interesting use case come up which - to cut the story short - one way to solve the problem I am looking at may be to replicate a small number of mailboxes to a third remote server. I've currently had replication running between my main dovecot machine and another remote VM for some time and working well (so I'm not new to replication and I've got a good working config), but I've a need to add a third to the mix for a select number of mailboxes. The arch on both of those is Gentoo x86_64 and with latest 2.1.16 -hg. I have attempted this so far by rsync'ing the initial Maildirs and then once the bulk of the data has been transferred rely on dovecot's replication to keep things in sync. I figure that this should in theory mean that the subsequent updates in both directions are incremental and the bulk of the data gets moved while the device is here on my desk using rsync. I've attempted to do this using a Raspberry Pi as a remote device, but when I set it up the dovecot replication process seems to need to start the replication over from scratch even after the rsync is done. I know this is happening as the disk utilisation on the Pi skyrockets once the replication starts and I end up with thousands of double ups of all the mails ... which defeats the entire point of the process. If I do an identical configuration but on a third Gentoo x86_64 VM locally it all works as expected. No double ups of mails and the "catchup" between the two devices is practically instant. Same filesystem even. The only difference appears to be the system architecture. So main my question is this. Is there a known architecture/endian limitation on replication? I guess cross-arch replication is not something many people try but is it supposed to work anyway? Has anyone else got replication working across different arch's? Also is there a way to restrict replication users aside from a crude hack around system first and last UIDs? Thanks, Reuben

You can enable Dovecot events in 10-logging.conf. Just uncomment mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename in plugin section. Depending on your setup, it will be logged to /var/log/maillog, or whatever you defined in your syslog configuration.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.8 for Dovecot v2.2.18
by Stephan Bosch 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final 0.4.8 release. No significant changes were committed since the last release candidate. Changelog v0.4.8: * LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17. + Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name. This way, users can see the default rules, edit them and store a private adjusted version. This could also be achieved by copying the default script into the user's script storage, but updates to the global sieve_default script would be ignored that way. + ManageSieve: Implemented support for reporting command statistics at disconnect. Statistics include the number of bytes and scripts uploaded/downloaded/checked and the number of scripts deleted/renamed. - Fixed problem in address test: erroneously decoded mime-encoded words in address headers. - extprograms plugin: Fixed failure occurring when connecting to script service without the need to read back the output from the external program. - Fixed bug in script storage path normalization occurring with relative symbolic links below root. - Fixed and updated various parts of the documentation - ManageSieve: Used "managesieve" rather than "sieve" as login service name, which means that all managesieve-specific settings where ignored. - Managesieve: Storage quota was not always enforced properly for scripts uploaded as quoted string. Nobody uses that, but it is allowed in the specification and we support it, so it should work properly. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.tar… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.tar… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Many Duplicated messages after migrate from 2.0.19 to 2.2.15
by Listas＠Adminlinux 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi, In my company, we have several failover clusters (~50k accounts per cluster) with Ubuntu12.04 and Dovecot-2.0.19 (without dsync, replication at block level with DRBD). We are migrating to active/active clusters with Ubuntu14.04 and Dovecot-2.2.15 with replication via dovecot-dsync. Each new cluster consists of two machines and each machine runs two instances of Dovecot (one for backend and the other for proxy Dovecot-director). We did the migration of message files, indexes and sieve scripts using rsync to one of the backends. After we turn on the second backend and let the dsync work in replication for him. Now, many accounts are with duplicated messages and some new emails delivered are also being duplicated. Doveadm deduplicate doesn't work for me. I ran: doveadm deduplicate -u <user> -m ALL Does do the migration of files with rsync was a mistake ? We are using mdbox on both clusters. My confs with doveconf -n for both clusters: http://www.adminlinux.com.br/newcluster_doveconf.txt http://www.adminlinux.com.br/oldcluster_doveconf.txt Thanks and regards, Thiago Henrique

v2.2.18 released
by Timo Sirainen 15 May '15

15 May '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.18.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.18.tar.gz.sig Oops, director was somewhat broken in 2.2.17. I thought I tested the last changes in it well enough, but looks like not. To avoid all existing Dovecot director installations from breaking I decided to make 2.2.18 release quickly afterwards.. BTW. We're planning on making some changes soon to how version control is used in Dovecot development, which should help avoid these kind of problems. The main problem now is that everything gets directly committed to the master branch (although we have a separate more stable dovecot-ee repo also). The new plan is to do something like this: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ Besides some minor compiling issues and other small changes, the important ones are: - director: Login UNIX sockets were normally detected as doveadm or director ring sockets, causing it to break in existing installations. - sdbox: When copying a mail in alt storage, place the destination to alt storage as well.

Best practice for getting sieve scripts replicated?
by Michael Grimm 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi — I do have replication between two servers running, and mail is replicated without any issues. I do have sieve running at both servers without any issues. But replication of sieve scripts doesn't work as "expected": Whenever I do modify my default script und upload it via "doveadm sieve put -u abc -a default < default" it becomes uploaded to the home directory of user abc as expected, but it will not be replicated to the partner server. Whenever I do deactivate the default script by "doveadm sieve deactivate -u abc", followed by a deletion "doveadm sieve delete -u abc default" plus subsequent upload of the script "doveadm sieve put -u abc -a default < default", replication takes place instantly. Questions: Is a modification of a sieve script supposed to be triggered the latter way? Or am I doing it the wrong way? Thanks and regards, Michael

Alternate Storage altmove not working bug
by Daniel van Ham Colchete 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hello everyone! I would like to report a bug here. We are using dovecot's sdbox with alternate storage here. From time to time my SSD partition gets full and I always find users with lots of e-mails stuck there, and altmove just won't move them. It moves most of the e-mails correctly, but a few was getting stuck everyday. So, I think I have found the problem! When a user moves the message from one mailbox to another, the move will keep all the flags! Including MAIL_INDEX_MAIL_FLAG_BACKEND 0x40. So, altmove think this message was already moved and doesn't do anything. I did a doveadm dump on the destination mailbox's index and what I see is a lot of this: RECORD: seq=104, uid=104, flags=0x48 (Seen) - ext 0 keywords : (0000) - ext 1 modseq : 12 (0c00000000000000) - ext 3 cache : 14004 (b4360000) - cache offset=14004 size=76, prev_offset = 0 - mime.parts: (48000000b404000000000000cc04000000000000e542000000000000fd4300000000000018010000) (pos=0 hdr.p=1204 hdr.v=1228 body.p=17125 body.v=17405 flags=48) - size.physical: 18329 (9947000000000000) - date.received: 1418235366 (e68d8854) Although the 0x40 flag is set, the file still lives on the main/ssd storage area. My config: http://pastebin.com/8Wk4bfRK Dovecot version: 2.2.5-0~auto+22 Host is Xeon E3 64bit, running Debian 7. Filesystem is plain local ext4 on both storage areas I know my version is outdated but I didn't find anything related to this there. Just one last question: how can I remove that flag from the message? I have taken a look at doveadm-flags(1) but it doesn't seem to allow anything on that flag. Thank you very much! Best, Daniel Colchete

Return code 139 when enabling auth debugging
by Stefan Midjich 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi I'm running dovecot 2.2.10 installed from base repos on CentOS 7. I'm trying to use sqlite as an auth backend but it's not working so I enabled some auth debugging settings in conf.d/10-logging.conf and then dovecot refused to start. sudo dovecot -F produced 139. Here is doveconf -n: http://dpaste.com/2BNB2F7 Unfortunately when I have these settings enabled doveconf does not work and only produces the first comment line. So here is the output of sudo grep -v '^#' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf | grep -v '^$': http://dpaste.com/0G0VVK8 And when these settings are uncommented dovecot -F produces return code 139 and no output. So I'm having a hard time troubleshooting my authentication when I can't even troubleshoot my debug options not working. ;) -- Hälsningar / Greetings http://Stefan.Midjich.name

Trying to get mail working
by Steve Matzura 15 May '15

15 May '15

I have charge of a very mixed system--current OS (Fedora 20--OK 21's out but I just haven't upgraded yet), current (or nearly so) Mailman (2.1.18-1), Postfix 2.10 with a configuration file sfrom something a lot older which I've run through the upgrade-configuration procedure, and old Dovecot (1.0.15). Is there anything I can do to test each of these components individually, then add a second component and test the three pairs, then all three together? I am nobody's definitioin of an expert in any of these three components, so am having a lot of trouble making them work together, so I thought maybe there might be some test procedure that might straighten me out. Thanks in advance.

Pigeonhole v0.4.8.rc3 compilation error (bad mail-deliver.h)
by Jacques Distler 14 May '15

14 May '15

Got a /usr/local/include/dovecot/mail-deliver.h:30:17: error: field has incomplete type 'struct timeval' struct timeval delivery_time_started; ^ error. This is because mail-deliver.h in dovecot-2.2.17 is missing an #include <sys/time.h> Adding that line to mail-deliver.h fixes the problem. Oddly, I had no problem compiling dovecot itself.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.8.rc3 for Dovecot v2.2.17
by Stephan Bosch 13 May '15

13 May '15

Hello Dovecot users, RC2 had one more important bug caused by the new sieve_default_name feature. To prevent causing more of such rather stupid bugs in the future, I created an external shell-based test suite to test dovecot-lda delivery, the doveadm sieve tools and ManageSieve. These kind of tests aren't possible with the current Sieve-based test suite that is included in the Pigeonhole tarball. Now I can test most basic top-level Pigeonhole functionality in one go. Additionally, I created one new feature for ManageSieve. It allows logging various statistics at client disconnect, much like POP3 currently supports. This is e.g. useful for debugging. In the process, I fixed a few ManageSieve bugs as well. If RC3 doesn't cause any more issues, I will release 0.4.8 this Friday. Changelog v0.4.8 (updated): * LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17. + Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name. This way, users can see the default rules, edit them and store a private adjusted version. This could also be achieved by copying the default script into the user's script storage, but updates to the global sieve_default script would be ignored that way. + ManageSieve: Implemented support for reporting command statistics at disconnect.

Some mail readers have auto-discover features that are rather stupid. If possible, manually configure the SSL style (TLS/STARTTLS) and port rather than letting it guess. To diagnose whether it is some dovecot config error, you can manually connect with both flavours of SSL openssl s_client -connect 192.168.0.15:993 ... or ... openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect 192.168.0.15:143 then if it gets past the SSL handshake, a login <user> <password> to test the authentication part. This will at least tell you whether it's a client side or server side issue. (However, since it is working with other client, it's probably a client side issue.) Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.rc2… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.rc2… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Bug#776094: dovecot-imapd: corrupts mailbox after trying to retrieve it (fwd)
by Santiago Vila 11 May '15

Hello. I wrote about this three weeks ago but got no answer. I'm going to officially "forward" the Debian bug this time, with all the details. The test case is just 840 bytes long. Please give it a try. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Santiago Vila <sanvila(a)unex.es> To: submit(a)bugs.debian.org Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 22:32:28 +0100 (CET) Subject: dovecot-imapd: corrupts mailbox after trying to retrieve it Package: dovecot-imapd Version: 1:2.2.13-11 Severity: serious The following mbox folder, when put in $HOME/mail, becomes corrupted after trying to retrieve it with fetchmail. The problem may be reproduced by using the same machine as server and client: * Put "inbox-b" in $HOME/mail * Put this in $HOME/.fetchmailrc server localhost proto imap port 143: user "someuser" pass "thepassword" * Retrieve email using this command line: fetchmail -a localhost --folder inbox-b -m "true" Note: By looking at the "true" above it is clear that whatever fetchmail does with the message is not important at all. You will see something like this: 12 messages for someuser at localhost (folder inbox-b). reading message someuser@localhost:1 of 12 (171 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:2 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:3 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:4 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:5 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:6 of 12 (171 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:7 of 12 (171 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:8 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:9 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:10 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:11 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:12 of 12 (273 header octets)fetchmail: incorrect header line found - see manpage for bad-header option not flushed And in fact "inbox-b" in the server is now like this: [...] >From root(a)example.com Tue Jan 13 10:18:20 2015 rstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz(a)example.com To: a(a)example.com Subject: a MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-Id: <20150113091737.B5ADA5F8B1(a)example.com> Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2015 10:17:25 +0100 (CET) X-UID: 16035 Status: O a Note how the From: line has been truncated from its original state. I have been suffering from this problem for months. At first I believed it was some misbehaving procmail/formail recipe I had on the server, but that's not the case as this example shows. Thanks.
